Well if you hadn't taken a guess from the title that this post is going to be about gambling then you haven't seen the movie 21 yet and well I just don't know how I feel about you any more...
Anyway last night (Friday night) I went to a casino for the very first time! It was so exciting, all the machines whirling and the flashy lights. My eyes were definitely as big as saucers and I was definitely over stimulated. My friends and I scoped out the various tables, looking for the cheaper minimum bids and the hot dealers. The Star casino is huge, and there were tables everywhere along with slot machines and electronic roulette. Fun fact, slot machines are called pokeys in Australia. Anyways, with our vouchers in hand (we got $20 vouchers for signing up for a rewards program and a free chicken parm dinner #win) we hit up the roulette tables. I have never played roulette, or really gambled ever, so luckily for me I was with a pro and I was able to figure it out. After a couple of rounds of roulette and few hands of blackjack, I walked away a very happy camper. I won $50, and lost 0 because of the voucher. Maybe it was beginner's luck, but I'm secretly hoping I have a gift because I'm definitely hitting up Vegas once I'm legal.
That's about it, going to a casino is fun but I can see how it can get addictive and you should always gamble responsibly :)
Adios!
Smart of you to walk away ahead. I need you with me next time I'm at the tables since you're both lucky and wise. Proud of you cuz!
